Description
Why do you need this change?
We are an end customer on Dynamics NAV 2015 preparing a migration to Business Central on-premises. Our NAV customization extends general journal posting so that an additional bank payment type ("Credit Card") creates check ledger entries in the same manner as the standard Manual Check handling (codeunit 12, Gen. Jnl.-Post Line area). We request extensibility (published events or an extensible enum with accompanying event coverage) sufficient for an extension to add a bank payment type and create the corresponding check ledger entries during posting, without modifying the base application. If current versions already expose sufficient integration events for this scenario, a pointer to them would fully resolve this request.

Research direction
Start by reviewing codeunit 12, Gen. Jnl.-Post Line, and the standard Manual Check handling described in the issue. Trace whether existing integration events cover bank payment types and check ledger entry creation. Done means documenting sufficient extension points, or defining the event and enum coverage needed for Credit Card posting without modifying the base application.
